Does the drywall help the suite pass inspection in High Park?

Yes — the fire-rated ceiling separation, sound-dampened walls and moisture-resistant board are all code requirements for an High Park legal suite, and we build them to the City of Edmonton spec.

Is the ceiling or the wall the bigger job in a suite?

Usually the ceiling, because it carries both the fire separation and most of the sound transmission between units. It is also where the mechanical runs and penetrations are, so it needs the most coordination with the other trades.

Do you do legal suite drywall in High Park?

Yes — secondary-suite drywall in High Park is part of our regular work, and we book to your project. We also cover Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood and Jasper Place.

Do you build the High Park fire and sound separation?

Yes — the fire-rated suite-to-main ceiling and sound-dampened party walls are core to an High Park legal suite, and we install both to spec.

Do you stand behind your legal suite drywall in High Park?

Yes. We build to the suite spec and walk the finished High Park suite with you, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

How much sound separation will a suite actually get?

Enough that normal speech between the units is not intelligible, when the assembly on the drawings is built properly and the perimeters are sealed. It will not be silent, and footstep noise is the hardest part. We would rather set that expectation now.

Secondary suite drywall in High Park that passes inspection

A legal secondary suite has to meet the City of Edmonton spec to pass inspection — fire-rated separation between the suite and the main floor, sound-dampened party walls and moisture-resistant board where it is needed. In High Park we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. High Park is one of Jasper Place's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover High Park, Britannia Youngstown, Canora, Crestwood and Jasper Place, 7 days a week.

Finish level for a rental

Durable beats showy

A High Park suite is a rental. A sound Level 4 finish, good corner bead and a hard-wearing paint will look better in three years than a high finish level that gets knocked.

Where to spend instead

Better corners, moisture-resistant board where it matters, and the sound assembly. Those are what a tenant experiences daily and what a landlord stops getting calls about.

High Park drywall in context

About High Park

High Park is a smaller neighbourhood laid out in a grid pattern and the lots are of a generous size.

What we see in High Park

In High Park the drywall work is plaster and lath repair, popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, careful patching into original surfaces. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Fire, sound and moisture in an High Park suite

Fire and sound separation

An High Park legal suite needs a fire-rated ceiling and sound-dampened separation so it is safe and liveable. Both assemblies are built into the High Park drywall.

Finish and wet zones

Bathrooms get moisture-resistant board; everything finishes flat and paint-ready. High Park readers can dig into Fire-Rated Drywall Edmonton and Soundproofing Edmonton for the assemblies.

Penetrations: the part that fails inspections

Every hole is a path

Electrical boxes, plumbing, ducting and pot lights all pierce a rated High Park assembly. Unsealed, each one is a route for fire and smoke and a leak for sound.

Sequencing with trades

Firestopping happens before the finish. We coordinate so penetrations are made and sealed before we tape, rather than cutting into a finished rated ceiling later and leaving it open behind the paint.

Sequencing around your inspections

Inspected before covered

Rated and sound assemblies in High Park are checked before the finish goes on. That sets the order of work, not the other way round.

How we plan it

We board and firestop to suit your inspection date rather than working ahead. If an inspection slips, we would rather pause than cover something the inspector needs to see.

The suite entry and the stair enclosure

Often the weak point

The door and stair connecting an High Park suite to the rest of the house is frequently where both the fire separation and the sound separation are least complete.

Detailing it

The enclosure has to carry the rating through, and the door is specified. It is also the single biggest sound leak in most suites, because a door is a door.
